Help needed with KAT-100-1

Folks of the reflector:

I have K2 S/N 755 purchased last fall from WA7BOC. It works great, has
the 100W amp, etc.
This last spring I purchased a KAT-100 from a fellow on this
reflector. I have forgotten his call. At the time,
I did not have time... to try it out. I finally had an opportunity and
... nothing happens.No lights come on (although I know power is on
the connector). Hitting 'Tune' shows no response from the tuner, etc.

I built a K2 (S/N 157) long ago, but have no pretense of being up to
date on the innards of a K2/100 or of the KAT-100. Could some patient
soul out there help me through this process? I may have to contact
Aptos...
but I rather hope not.

Allan,

Do you have the connector from the K2 AUX IO connector to the KAT100
Control input DB-9 connector in place? This is required for the KAT100
to communicate with the K2.

If you do have the connector in place, then you have a problem either
with the KAT100 or the K2/100 control lines that communicate with the
KAT100.

73,
Don W3FPR

Allen, I know nothing about the K2 or the KAT-100, but I have experience with the folks at Aptos. They don't bite, don't even growl! They know their stuff! I can't think of any better place to ask for help with Elecraft products.
